NOTE: You are a transfer student if you graduated from high school in 2007 or earlier and if you have attended another college or university and will be attending KU for the first time.

If you are transferring, you must send official transcripts from each institution you have attended to KU's Office of Admissions and Scholarships. If you have fewer than 24 credit hours, you must also send a high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores. If there is not time to send a final transcript before orientation, bring a grade report or an unofficial transcript to assist in advising. Failure to supply information on all college credits completed could delay your advising and enrollment and result in inappropriate course selection.

The transfer student program takes an entire day and ends at 5:00 p.m. Advising and enrollment can be completed ONLY in the afternoon. Arrange your travel plans accordingly. Students must attend the entire orientation program in order to enroll for classes.

Following is an example of a typical transfer orientation program. Session topics and times are subject to change. You will be given an up-to-date program schedule when you check-in for your orientation session.
